Thanksgiving in Yoncalla

Here are some pictures from our Thanksgiving holiday at Laurie's parents' home...

The kids begin eating

Cody's first helping of food - compare to below

David's first helping of food - compare to above 8)

The desserts: the lemon meringue was a popular choice because it was the least rich

Dan working off the calories on the treadmill


The next morning I took a 4 mile walk as I was getting cabin fever...


First stop was the pioneer cemetery


Neat old headstone

Heading back to the entrance

A train went by as I was walking.  This is next to the high school.

This is the house Laurie's family was living in when I met her.  Laurie's father built the wrap-around deck you see there complete with the scroll work on the poles.  Has changed very little since then.

Here is the old Methodist church in the center of town.  This was for sale back in July when we visited.  I was really worried it would be torn down, but it looks like it will be fixed up and rented out.

Laurie's parents' house

Isn't that a cute barn that Laurie's dad built
